Former Cirque du Soleil cellist Marcie Brown's CD "Butterfly Girl" was in the running for a 2010 grammy in the American Folk category. Her new CD "Reflections Over Brandy" has been in the Top Ten Jazz CD's list on American and European radio stations this summer. Ms. Brown is a cellist that has some depth. She has performed with street musicians upon the dingy grey pavements of New York City. She has performed beside well-trained conservatory musicians in well-lit and well attended symphonic halls. She has mingled with musicians from Brazil, India, Trinidad, Jamaica, Guatemala, Africa, Portugal and Italian gypsies. She has performed with Lucianno Pavoratti, Andreas Bocelli, Dizzy Gillespie, Itzak Perlman, Ray Charles and Lionel Richie. She did over 600 shows with the Cirque du Soleil's "O" in Las Vegas. The music that she brings to us is a combination of all of these experiences: broad, deep, rich and soulful.
